Nonbinding Resolutions Favoring Impeachment

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Citing "serious questions of constitutionality" in White House actions, Vermont senators voted Friday to call for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

A Big Waste of Tax Payers Money! That is exactly what this is.

Congressional correspondent Sharyl Attkisson explained: “Think of it not so much as a real debate with a real chance of changing anything in the war on Iraq. It's more of a political dare -- a nonbinding resolution that Republicans are putting to a vote, calling for the U.S. to stand firm in Iraq and the war on terror, and who in their right mind would vote against that?”

Do they not have an extremely long list of items that they could actually pass to do some good in this country? I do not understand a lot of things but it seems that if the, so called, leaders of this nation are debating on a non-binding resolution does that not look like pure bipartisan politics at its highest? And the news channels are all over it like it is really going to do something. The only news about this is the total and complete waste of money, time, and their priorities being wasted.

COME ON PEOPLE THIS IS NOT A TEST. YOU ARE NOT IN SCHOOL ANYMORE. YOU ARE RUNNING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ACT LIKE IT. AND YOU NEWS OUTLETS, CAN WE GET SOME PRESSURE ON THESE PEOPLE AND YOUR BOSSES TO REALIZE THE WASTE THAT THIS IS.

It would be a totally different matter if you could actually impeach anybody. BUT HERE IS A NEWS ALERT YOU CAN'T.

Why A Non-Binding Resolution

Congressional correspondent Sharyl Attkisson explained: “Think of it not so much as a real debate with a real chance of changing anything in the war on Iraq. It's more of a political dare -- a nonbinding resolution that Republicans are putting to a vote, calling for the U.S. to stand firm in Iraq and the war on terror, and who in their right mind would vote against that?”

So if it’s likely not going to change anything, why is it getting so much attention? The reasons are mostly related to the story’s political relevance, according to Attkisson. She wrote in an e-mail:

“It's getting attention because the war in Iraq and the war on terror are foremost on the minds of so many Americans. That's why Congress wants to debate it: to let constituents back home in this election year see that they are talking about the big issues and controversies.

The resolution that was proposed isn't the one Democrats would have chosen to debate; it's the Republicans' choice. Many Democrats would rather be voting on a timeline for troop withdrawal. Many Republicans, on the other hand, felt it was important to send a symbolic message of support for the war in Iraq and the war on terror.”

This sounds just like our politicians at work. Spinning their wheels on something that does not change a thing and they know it. It is all a big show for the elections coming up.

Why can they not actually do something to help our country. Like secure our borders or at least support the ones that try and protect it.
